AS ABOVE SO BELOW

"The Secret of The Thrice-Greatest Hermes (the three parts of the wisdom -- alchemy, astrology, and theurgy -- is a text purporting to reveal the secret of the primordial No-Thing and its diverse transmutations, passed down to humankind through an entity described as a combination of the Greek messenger of the gods, Hermes, and the Egyptian god Thoth, who guided souls to the afterlife.)

It was revealed in a letter written by the Greek philosopher and teacher, Aristotle to his student, Alexander the Great, who perceived himself as god-like, and yet remained mortal. Aristotle, hoping to pass his own investigation into the Mystery of Mysteries to his student, related this story of his adventures:

“Here is that which the priest Sagijus of Nabulus has dictated concerning the entrance

of Balinas into the hidden chamber... After my entrance into the chamber I came up to an old man sitting on a golden throne. He was holding an emerald tablet in one hand.

And behold the following, engraved in Cyriac, the primordial language of Cyrus The Great, was written thereon: It contains an accurate commentary that cannot be doubted. It states:

“What is the above is from the below and the below is from the above. The work of Wonders is from The One."
